#3 - NYC Street Style

I'm sure you are all aware, as fellow fashion lovers, that the people of NYC all love the color black! It's pretty much a guarantee, when walking the streets, a majority will be dressed in black. That's okay though- right? Black is a classic color- always has been, always will be! However, spring is indeed on its way. (Not like we had much of a winter.) As New Yorkers, we don't want to completely lose our classic look- but who wants to wear black from head to toe when the sun is peering through and the smell of fresh flowers is in the air? So what to do? Lately, I have noticed some colors peeking their way into the wardrobes of these classy New Yorkers. It wasn't much but its a start!

My school, THE Fashion Institute of Technology, opened up a new exhibit in the museum! (If any of you readers are from NY you should definitely check it out- it will be well worth it, it always is!) Of course, like a bunch of others I was out and about seeing all the absolutely AMAZING designers and celebrities who dropped by. Among them- Michael Kors, Anna Sui, Betsey Johnson, DVF, and so many more! Just happened to get a picture of Kate Winslet and wanted to share with you all! Also, below, is a picture of me and Allison Harvard. (This was seriously one of the best moments of my life.) She was on ANTM, in case you don't know, and is super fashionable, inspiring, and amazing! Hopefully, one day, I won't just be mesmerized by all these beautiful people, I'll be among them! Hey, a girl can dream right?
